rwp presbuteroi
rwp@Matthew:26:3 @{Then were gathered together the chief priests and elders of the people} (\Tote sunchth...hoi archiereis kai hoi presbuteroi tou...\). A meeting of the Sanhedrin as these two groups indicate (cf. strkjv@21:23|). {Unto the court} (\eis tn auln\). The _atrium_ or court around which the palace buildings were built. Here in this open court this informal meeting was held. Caiaphas was high priest A.D. 18 to 36. His father-in-law Annas had been high priest A.D. 6 to 15 and was still called high priest by many.
